WHAT IS LEADERSHIP?Leadership is an interactive conversation that pulls people toward becoming comfortable with the language of personal responsibility and commitment.

LEADERSHIP TIPS“The crux of leadership development that works is self-directed learning: intentionally developing or strengthening an aspect of who you are or who you want to be, or both.” Primal Leadership by Daniel Goleman, Richard Boyatzis & Annie McKee (Harvard Business School Press)

Big-City Smart Women

Young, college-educated women in Manhattan and other major cities are now earning more than their male counterparts.

The report by Andrew A. Beveridge, entitled "Women of New York City" and published online by the Citizens Union Foundation at its Gotham Gazette site, www.GothamGazette.com, found female New York City residents ages 21 to 30, coming from all educational backgrounds and working full-time, earned 117 percent of men's wages. In Dallas, they earned 120 percent.

According to Census figures, 53% of women in their 20s working in New York City graduated from college, compared to 38% of men in the same age group.

However, national statistics--which include rural and other outlying areas as well as smaller cities and towns--show women earning 89 percent of the wages of full-time working men.

In New York City, the numbers over time are much different than national figures: In 1970, New York women in their 20s made $7,000 less than men; by 2000, they were about even; and in 2005, they were making about $5,000 more.
